That would seem to me to be a good starting point since that seems
to have been one of his first sustained discussions of Marxism
(outside of some brief comments in *Being and Nothingness*).
I suppose we might also want then want to proceed to his
*In Search of a Method* in which he expanded on his criticisms
of dialectical materialism and outlined an alternative conception
of Marxist philosophy. Then perhaps to the *Critique of
Dialectical Reason*.
